The viral Re 1 JioHotstar buzz explained
Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has been flooded with screenshots claiming that users have unlocked Disney+ Hotstar Premium for just Re 1. Some say they’ve paid Re 1 and got full access to premium content — ad-free movies, 4K sports streams, Dolby Vision, and all.
So, is this the best streaming deal ever or just a glitch that went viral? Let’s break it down.
What the Re 1 plan actually includes
According to users who managed to get the offer, it’s a full-fledged Premium subscription, not a limited trial. The benefits listed are identical to the standard ₹1,499 annual plan:
- Ad-free experience across all movies, shows, and sports.
- 4K playback with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
- Multi-device access for up to four devices.
- Works across mobile, tablet, TV, and laptop.
In short — users are getting the real deal, not a watered-down trial.

Who’s getting the offer (and who’s not)
Now here’s where it gets interesting. Multiple users reported that this offer isn’t limited to Jio SIM users. Some non-Jio numbers also managed to activate the plan, while others couldn’t even see it as an option.
This strongly suggests it’s a selective rollout — possibly a trial promotion or internal test phase. A few users even claimed to have received a one-year subscription for Re 1, though that part hasn’t been verified yet.
How to check if you’re eligible
If you’re curious (and honestly, who wouldn’t be?), here’s how to check whether the Re 1 JioHotstar Premium plan is available for you:
- Open or download the JioHotstar app.
- Log in using your mobile number (without an active plan).
- Tap on the ‘My Space’ icon.
- Hit ‘Subscribe’ to view the available plans.
- If you spot the Re 1 Premium plan, go for it — pay via UPI, card, or wallet.
If you’re eligible, activation happens instantly.
The catch: limited validity
As per screenshots shared online, users can choose between a 3-month plan or an annual plan for Re 1, but here’s the twist — it’s only valid for 30 days. After the trial ends, the app reportedly auto-renews at the standard price unless canceled.
So, if you’re testing it out, make sure to set a reminder to review the plan before renewal.
Official status: still unconfirmed
Neither Jio nor Disney+ Hotstar has issued any official statement about this viral Re 1 plan. However, given Jio’s track record of surprise promotions and test rollouts, this could very well be a limited experiment before a wider launch.
For now, it looks like a lucky few are getting early access to one of India’s cheapest premium streaming deals.

Bottom line
If the offer shows up in your app, it’s definitely worth claiming — ad-free 4K Hotstar for Re 1 doesn’t come around every day. But stay alert: after the trial, regular prices may apply.
Whether this becomes a public offer or remains a short-term test, one thing’s clear — Jio’s partnership with Hotstar is heating up again, and users are loving it.
